The unique geometry of this waveguide delivers remarkable high frequency detail, imaging, and natural balance at nearly any listening position in a broad range of acoustic environments. Since design of this complexity and level of detail is an iterative process, JBL performs Finite Element Analysis, creating virtual simulations of off-axis response, pattern control, and the blend of the high frequency driver and woofer.

The Image Control Waveguide was developed for JBL's new flagship M2 Master Reference Monitor and with the introduction of the JBL 3 Series, is now available for the first time in an affordable, compact reference monitor. Its patent-pending design precisely controls the sound emanating from the speaker in the vertical and horizontal planes ensuring the representation of your mix is neutral and accurate at the listening position.
